Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • Big Lipped Alligator Moment: At times the show can easily be called "Disney's Big Lipped Alligator: The Show".
  • Crazy Awesome: Zora.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: Sonny finally getting to show off her singing talents on the show. Even Tawni says that she's good.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: "Me, Myself, and Time", which Sonny sings on the show once.
  • Ear Worm: The "Check It Out Girls" theme song. Check it out.
    • And from the episode Dakota's Revenge - "Chad Chad Chady Chad Chad".
      • Chad, Chad, Chaddie, Chaddie, Chad, Chad~Chad, Chad, Chaddie, Chaddie, Chad...
  • Fandom Rivalry:
    • An ordinary girl makes a funny web video and suddenly finds herself doing wacky comedy skits and going on insane adventures. Sound familiar?
    • An ordinary girl is suddenly thrust into the spotlight, finding herself competing with an insecure Alpha Bitch (whom she has tons of Foe Yay and Les Yay with), while befriending a Black Best Friend, a weird white guy who will never get any girl, an insane short girl, and said normal girl has a flirty relationship with the hottest guy. The parallels are hard to overstate.
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: "Sonny With a Secret": Sitting in a plane with its hatch open while wind is blowing in darkness, and you don't have a parachute.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The Punkd parody where Zora tricks Chad into thinking he's the host becomes more funny when the revival of the show had Justin Bieber do the same thing to Miley Cyrus.
  • Ho Yay:
    • Nico and Grady, bordering on Ambiguously Gay. For example, one episode had Grady and Sonny pretending to date whilst Nico and Tawni pulled a prank. Later when they meet up they both ask "Was she better then me?" That's right Nico was asking if Sonny was a better girlfriend then him.
    • Les Yay: The episode where Sonny's friend Lucy visits pinged more than a few radars. Also, Tawni and Sonny.
      • "I need you. I need you! I need you! I need you! I need you more than a flower needs rain, more than a balloon needs air and more than you need a spray tan." Then they hug, and Sonny starts giggling.
      • The Eric episode had Tawni trying to kiss Eric!Sonny.
      • Not to mention the sheer amount of girl-fighting between Sonny and Tawni.
      • "Falling for the Falls" has a few pieces of Does This Remind You of Anything?.
  • Iron Woobie: Acting as Those Two Guys (or is it as a Heterosexual Life Partners?), this trope defines Nico and Grady. When working or hanging out together, there's nothing - physical or emotional - that can hold them down for very long.
  • Moral Event Horizon]]: Penelope in Sonny with a Secret. Went to all lengths to try and ruin Sonny's reputation (up to and including trying to murder everyone at Sonny's old school)... all because Chad loves Sonny instead of her.
  • Nausea Fuel: Some of the "Sicky Vicky" sketches.
  • Portmanteau Couple Name:
Cquote1

 Tia: And welcome back to Tia. I'm here with Hollywood's it couple du jour. Sonny Munroe and Chad Dylan Cooper, or as I've just decided to call you, Channy.

Sonny: Oh, that's cute! Channy, I like that.

Chad: Oh, we've got our own mashup name.

Cquote2
  • Shipping: Pretty much Channy (Chad/Sonny) as the Fan-Preferred Couple by a huge margin. Next biggest is Tawni/Sonny. Occasionally other ships are teased, such as Sonny/Nico in the pilot (with no Chad), and Sonny/Grady in a more recent one.
